About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

Nestled in the heart of historic Grand Avenue, Bacanora defies tradition with its ambiance, intimacy, and flavors. Born from the visionary mind of James Beard award-winning Rene Andrade, Bacanora isn’t just a restaurant; but rather an experience. Rene and his team have shaped Bacanora into a haven for those seeking a taste of home and a warm hug with hospitality. Sticking to the roots of Sonoran cuisine, everything is carefully crafted over open flame y puro amor at Bacanora. If he’s up, then Phoenix is up!

RESERVATIONS FOR MARCH WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TO BOOK ON FEBRUARY 1ST AT 9:00AM!
You may still experience a wait time upon arrival due to reservations being booked back-to-back at all tables. Please practice patience and understanding if this occurs because we are working as hard as possible to get everyone sat on time and to have a great experience.

Parking can be found in the parking lot across McKinley from the restaurant, it is reserved for guests of Bragg’s and neighbors.

Why they're an Icon

James Beard Award2024

From the OpenTable editors: Bacanora fired up the grill in downtown Phoenix in 2021, quickly making a nationwide splash with praise pouring in from The New York Times, Esquire, and local outlets—leading to a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest in 2024 for Rene Andrade. It's all thanks to Andrade's flavorful Sonoran cuisine—think tomahawk steaks and pineapples dangling over an open flame—agave cocktails, and natural wine in the casual, intimate space.

Took us quite a long time to secure reservations but finally sat down at Bacanora! The service and vibe are exactly what's depicted on social media. Great staff and if you are a local, this is a must visit restaurant here in PHX. The food and drink are top notch which warrants a 6 star rating!!!

Food was amazing! The embered elote is to die for and is a must! The marinade on the short ribs was great. Even the cucumber salad was full of flavor! I live in Idaho and visit Arizona quite frequently, will definitely be back!

We always have the BEST time at Bacanora. Each time better than the last, it’s my favorite date night spot. I’d put it over a steakhouse any day. The food, the drinks, the music, and the fun energy from the staff makes me feel so relaxed and welcome. I truly believe anyone who says it’s overrated either doesn’t appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into the food or doesn’t want to spend the money. Come hungry so you can try as many dishes as possible!
